Broncos Extend Sean Payton Five Years Through 2030

Owner Greg Penner said the move aligns Payton with GM George Paton to lock in continuity across Denver’s football operations.

Overview

  • The Broncos announced on Thursday, June 11, 2026, that Sean Payton has signed a new five-year contract that replaces the two remaining years on his prior deal and runs through the 2030 season.
  • Financial terms of the extension were not released by the team.
  • The new contract was framed as a stability move that mirrors the five-year extension given to general manager George Paton in May and reflects owner Greg Penner’s endorsement of their partnership.
  • Payton has led a rapid turnaround in Denver, posting a 32-19 regular-season mark over three years and guiding the team to a 14-3 season and an AFC Championship Game appearance in 2025, a run that was affected by quarterback Bo Nix’s late playoff ankle injury.
  • As the Broncos prepare for mandatory minicamp starting June 16, Payton has handed play-calling duties to offensive coordinator Davis Webb, a shift that could change in-game management while the team monitors roster choices and Nix’s recovery.
